KEEPING UP ON HOME MAINTENANCE SAVES HOMEOWNERS FROM COSTLY HOME IMPROVEMENT DISASTERS

Portland, Ore. October 18, 2007 – By emphasizing the importance of home maintenance, ReliableRemodeler.com, a nationwide home improvement and remodeling contractor referral service, makes sure homeowners are preparing their biggest investment for the winter and for the future.

While homeowners may scurry to get their last minute large remodeling projects done, Fall is the best season for many home maintenance projects. Routine maintenance, such as roof repairs, can help homeowners avoid pricey problems such as major roof leaks. Maintenance will also ensure the service life on major aspects of a home will last as long as possible.

To ensure homeowners know the most important fall maintenance projects ReliableRemodeler.com has compiled their top maintenance projects for fall to help them prepare their home for the season. By focusing on prevention of home related problems through routine maintenance, homeowners will be able to rest easy this season knowing their home is in top shape.

“Homeowners may be more focused on major remodeling projects since they have the most return on their investment, and make the most visible change to their home,” said Eric Doebele, CEO of ReliableRemodeler.com. “However, it is vital to have basic home maintenance done to ensure that their home is energy efficient, safe, and prepared for the winter.”

Other smaller projects such as adding insulation and weatherstripping windows and doors are also great home improvement projects for homeowners looking to lower their bills this winter. These tasks will not only make sure that a home stays warmer and more comfortable this winter, but homeowners will see a drop in their overall energy consumption and the amount of their energy bill.
